And that's also peak hotel rate season....Late Jan thru early March is definitely were it's at.
Actually the majority of Americans (active members or not) are in the east (if you discount California). However, judging by the map a few posts up, the place that seems to have been slighted is the Southwest. If somebody wants to put together a proposition for anyplace in the SW (like LA, San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, etc.) I will happily volunteer to help. I really do not have the time to lead the group, but I would be happy to help. I talked my wife into a drive to Lexington this year, because we have family in Cincinnati. I seriously doubt that I can talk her into a drive to Chattanooga next year.... the majority of "Active" members are in the East, yes
Smoky Mountains Gatlinberg Area........
I vote Memphis also! And very possible we could talk to the chamber of commerce to get us to do a display of the vehicles on Beale St. Oh how I miss home. And Chattanooga wouldn't be bad either.I vote for Memphis, Tn: Great BBQ and Graceland!
Utah 2001: Salt Lake City had an SCCA autocross as an optional event. ONE fest attendee participated.Maybe near mid-Ohio. Or there are a few great smaller tracks in Michigan (Grattan and Gingerman are two I've been to) that would be great, and we might even be able to get enough people to use it for a day or half-day.

How many members had highly modified cars in 2001-2003?Utah 2001: Salt Lake City had an SCCA autocross as an optional event. ONE fest attendee participated.
Michigan 2002: Grattan was used in the Michigan fest as an optional event. THREE fest attendees went.
Toronto 2003: Mosport was used at the Toronto fest as an optional event. TWO fest attendees went.
These were events set-up, run, AND INSURED by others. There is no way that a group like TDIClub could afford the financial cost of even a half day event.
There's a reason why the 2004 Boston fest organizers chose to NOT have a driving competition event, and that was historically low turnout at prior events.
1: define 'highly'. Back then most of us were always looking for more. There were fewer (lower percentage) wiling to settle for what VW sold. Search for the video of Gary Miyakawa in his TDI 1/8 mile drag racing Uwe Ross in his VR6 back in 2000 to see what passed for modified TDI back then.How many members had highly modified cars in 2001-2003?
How much has the tdiclub fest grown since then?
